| Heimtextil Trends 2012/13: designers begin work at the Trendtable  The preparations for Heimtextil 2012, International Trade Fair for Home and Contract Textiles, officially begin with the meeting of the Heimtextil Trendtable. Thus, seven renowned design agencies came together in March to prepare the trends for the 22nd Heimtextil. For the first time, a US designer also took part in the Trendtable and contributed to the Heimtextil trend statements, which are the subject of great interest in the worldwide textile sector. Heimtextil 2011 was a great success with five percent more exhibitors and three percent more visitors than last year. The Heimtextil Trends for 2011/12 and the Trend Show created by designers from Britain's The Future Laboratory design agency attracted great attention from visitors, exhibitors and representatives of the media. Now, with around ten months preparatory time until the doors open, work has begun on the Heimtextil Trends for 2012/13. Seven renowned international design agencies took part in the Trendtable in Frankfurt am Main. For two days, designers from Germany, Great Britain, France, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands and the USA exchanged ideas and opinions on current themes, colours and tendencies in the fields of art, fashion and architecture. All design agencies taking part presented their own trend prognoses, which were discussed and developed to mould them into globally valid trends for the next 18 months. At the same time, the designers also evaluated a wide variety of new materials, textures, colours and patterns from all over the world. Every year, a different Trendtable agency assumes responsibility for the preparation of the Trend Book and the Trend Show. This year, the honour falls to design agency bora.herke.palmisano. Designers Cem Bora, Claudia Herke and Annetta Palmisano have been developing contemporary trends since 1990. They identify and visualise new tendencies in the fields of fashion, furniture and lifestyle. With their extraordinary presentations and exhibitions for international companies, they have been members of the creative team since the first Heimtextil Trendtable. The results of the Trendtable and the Heimtextil Trend Book for 2012/13 will be published during the Tendence trade fair in Frankfurt am Main (26 to 30 August 2011). write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Exhibition News :: home page |
